John Masters Bücher
Masters etablierte sich als eine eindringliche literarische Stimme, der seine umfangreichen militärischen Erfahrungen in packende Erzählungen verwandelte. Seine Schriften schöpfen tief aus seinen Diensten in der Indischen Armee und seinen Kampfeinsätzen im Zweiten Weltkrieg, geprägt von einem tiefen Verständnis für die Realitäten des Konflikts. In seinen Werken erforscht Masters meisterhaft Themen wie Mut, Verlust und menschliche Widerstandsfähigkeit angesichts von Widrigkeiten. Sein Stil, der sich durch schonungslose Ehrlichkeit und scharfe Beobachtungsgabe auszeichnet, spricht Leser an, die authentische und bewegende Geschichten suchen.

India, 1948. Margaret Wood and Rodney Savage are reunited, a year on from their first meeting on Independence Day. Margaret is a missionary and a nurse who came to India with her husband. But he has died of a terrible fever, and that has left her, questioning her faith and devotion, to carry out the mission alone. Savage, who has known, lived and fought in India for years, is bewildered by a country he no longer recognizes, and, now rootless, he struggles to find his place in it. As the two grow closer, the India that they knew falls apart. Savage is rejected from the village tribe that called him 'Gora Raja' - the White King. They tell him he is a danger to the people of India and when the village general dies in prison, he is accused of murder. Wanted as a criminal, Savage must turn his back on the India he once knew, and find his way in this strange land. For this was not the India of the Rajput knights who had fought against Jason Savage, but Nehru’s India. And it was a country that no longer needed the British...
